Defense Secretary \u200bPete Hegseth announced a Pentagon-led review of American forces in Europe on Thursday, and criticized some NATO allies over defense spending and reluctance to participate in the Iran war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s a \u200breview that some countries \u200cwill \u2060fail, and others will pass with flying colors,” Hegseth \u200btold \u200bNATO \u2060defense ministers in Brussels, Reuters reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hegseth added that the six-month review is designed to “ensure that NATO is moving fast and irreversibly” towards taking primary responsibility for the defense of Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also said it was “shameful” that European allies refused to give U.S. forces access to bases to strike Iran.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hegseth’s comments reflect increasingly fraught relations between the U.S. and allies in the transatlantic alliance.<\/p>\n

NATO member states committed to hiking defense spending last year, following pressure from Donald Trump’s White House for Europe to shoulder a greater responsibility for its own security.<\/p>\n

Hegseth said in May that the U.S. demands a minimum defense spending commitment of 3.5% of GDP from its allies and partners, adding that Washington will prioritize working with these “model allies.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, he praised countries such as the Philippines, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore for stepping up and sharing the burdens of defense and alliances, while continuing to lambast Europe.<\/p>\n

Trump has remained critical of NATO, threatening to withdraw the U.S. from the alliance over its reluctance to assist with the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

In dollar terms, the U.S. remains the alliance’s biggest spender on defense by far. NATO data shows that the U.S. spent an estimated $845 billion on defense last year, dwarfing the $559 billion spent by the rest of the alliance combined.<\/p>\n
